1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Generally, metal nanoclusters are synthesized using only a single ligand. Thus, the properties and applications of these nanomaterials are limited by the nature of the ligand used. In this study, we have developed a new synthetic strategy to prepare bi-ligand copper nanoclusters (Cu NCs). These bi-ligand Cu NCs are synthesized from copper ions, thiosalicylic acid, and cysteamine by a simple one-pot method, and they exhibit high quantum yields (>18.9%) and good photostability. Most interestingly, the fluorescence intensities and surface properties of the Cu NCs can be tailored by changing the ratio of the two ligands. Consequently, the bi-ligand Cu NCs show great promise as fluorescent probes. Accordingly, the Cu NCs were applied to the inner-filter-effect-based detection of hexavalent chromium in water. A wide linear range of 0.1-1000 μM and a low detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) of 0.03 μM was obtained. The recoveries for the real sample analysis were between 98.3 and 105.0% and the relative standard deviations were below 4.54%, demonstrating the repeatability and practical utility of this assay.
